PicoFrame

This code is designed to run on a Pimoroni Inky Frame paired with the server code.

It will grab a random image from the server every hour (by default) and display it.

If it is unable to connect to wifi or the A button is pressed on boot, it will enter Acess Point mode allowing you to connect to it and enter the wifi details.

Installing via mpremote

Install mpremote

pip install mpremote

Connect your inkyframe and find its id

Frame Kit

I've designed a frame kit to allow the Inky Frame 7.3 to be displayed in a picture frame.
